Muscular Fatigue & The Exoskeleton
The Paexo exoskeleton is a lightweight, ergonomic exoskeleton that provides complete support to help users achieve total body alignment and full range of motion. The unique design is based on natural, human movement. Users can move, sit, stand and pick up small objects with the exoskeleton comfortably worn over their normal clothing. It is highly flexible, durable and comes with a padded shoulder cushion for maximum comfort. It is suitable for all users - those with a disability, senior citizens, athletes and weekend warriors alike.

The innovative design of the Paexo exoskeleton includes a unique foam-lined sleeve that contours perfectly around the user's upper arm. This creates a "bounce back" effect that returns the shoulder and upper arm to its original position. This bounce back is due to the unique design of the Deltoid muscle groups that include the deltoids, perineum (hip area), traps (back of shoulder area) and pectoral muscles. The foam-lined sleeve conforms naturally to these muscle groups and absorbs the energy that results from movement, thus gently assisting in shoulder and arm support.

The Paexo system also helps improve strength and power through the recruitment of the deltoid muscles. The design of the Deltoid muscle group increases the overhead work performed by the arms, shoulders, legs and core. Many exoskeletons available on the market do not meet the high quality standards that this equipment boasts. For example, some models include a paper-thin soft polyurethane cover that does not provide adequate protection or comfort. Other less comfortable exoskeletons that have paper thin polyurethane cover can also contribute to shoulder, back and neck pain problems.

The standard quality exoskeleton allows users to perform overhead work with complete shoulder, arms and back support. The lightweight suit includes a lightest exoskeleton that weighs approximately two hundred and forty pounds for the larger size model. In addition, the lightweight exoskeleton allows users to move easily without feeling like they are wearing a heavy backpack.

One of the most popular benefits gained by using an exoskeleton is the improvement in muscular development and muscle activation. Muscular activation is defined as the voluntary and involuntary activation of the underlying musculature. Muscles can be activated through the light, medium and heavy exercise activities. However, muscle activation is especially important for individuals that participate in high impact sports such as football, rugby and lacrosse. The Paexo overhead system features the greatest amount of muscle activation of all exoskeletons on the market.

The strength of your muscles and the overall health of your shoulders depend upon their ability to contract and relax under different levels of physical stress. Exercises performed while using an exoskeleton will help your body to develop the necessary tension levels required to maintain your spine's natural movement. An additional benefit of the contraction-relax cycle is improved posture. Your spine now has a better chance of maintaining proper alignment because of the improved mobility provided by the deltoid muscles. Improved posture also reduces the risk of lower back injuries.

Muscular fatigue is a major disadvantage of the average overhead exercise machine. Exercises performed while using an exoskeleton produce significant reduction in muscle fatigue. When you perform an exercise that requires you to extend your legs, you place a tremendous amount of strain on your lower back. The Deltoid muscle in particular is often used to extend the torso and reduce the perceived "umbility" of the spine. Muscles in the back are particularly susceptible to overuse. Through extensive scientific research, the Paexo Emg test has demonstrated that the Deltoid muscle recruits significantly more muscles when you perform a specific overhead exercise, and it requires less effort when you do not.

Another major advantage of the Exoskeleton is that its design does not cause any fatigue to the user. Unlike traditional overhead tools, there are no sharp, bar-shaped ladders sticking out from your body. These ladders force your shoulders into an unnatural position where they contract and release strongly all throughout the lift. Exercises performed while using exoskeletons encourage natural, inward rotation of the torso while your elbows, hips, and feet remain relatively static. This ensures that your shoulders, hips, and feet remain at a constant state of dynamic tension throughout the lift.
